Trussardi Trussardi is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1984. Trussardi opens with Hyacinth, Green Notes, Bergamot, and Coriander, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Iris, and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, Amber, and Cedar. Trussardi's Trussardi carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

This 80s icon is a formidable chypre, a true love-it-or-hate-it scent that screams classic Italian glamour. Expect big, bold moves, as it’s certainly not for the faint of heart or the modern gourmand crowd. It's a powerhouse, a classic, and for many, a masterpiece that defines an era.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Trussardi's strong projection and longevity make it less ideal for the office unless applied very sparingly, as some find it overwhelming. Its undeniable elegance and classic chypre structure make it perfectly suited for formal events and chic date nights where a statement fragrance is desired.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opening with a sharp, green explosion of galbanum and aldehydes, Trussardi quickly settles into a complex heart of rich florals - jasmine, rose, and tuberose provide a heady, slightly animalic counterpoint. The drydown reveals a powerful, refined leather accord, softened by earthy oakmoss, sandalwood, and a hint of powdery vanilla. It’s a beautifully blended, robust composition that oozes old-school elegance with its green, woody, and leathery layers.
